The Department's description

Exterior description and setting

The kilns have been removed, probably as a result of road widening.

Historical information

Only a quarry is shown on the 1834 OS 6" map. A quarry and three kilns (none of them the present one) are on the 1857 edition. The kiln (and quarry to north) appears on the 1907 map, indicating a later 19th century date. The HMBB survey card dated 30 July 1982 states: "Pair of rubble built kilns, brick lined flues, built into hillside. Approx 15ft high, 25ft long".
